Notes:

Yes, the exam will be in-class on Thursday.
Don't forget the hate crimes fora this week and next.

Overview:

Basic information about the exam.
Review, phase 1: Identify key topics.
Review, phase 2: Discuss puzzling topics.

Exam Format

Thursday's exam.

In class.
No computer. (We discussed it, and time to solve computer-based problems seems remarkably inconsistent.)
You may bring one page of notes. (8.5x11, double sided.)
Designed to take about an hour, so that you'll have enough time.
For Python: You will not need to write working code. You will need to write code and may need to explain how to modify code.
About six problems (some with subproblems).

Review Format

We'll start by going around the room, identifying and categorizing topics that we've studied this semester.
Praitis and Rebelsky will fill in any topics they think are missing.
We'll then continue by discussing any of the topics for which you feel you need some review.

Categories:

Biological Frameworks
Key Bioinformatics Algorithms
Bioinformatics Tools (e.g., at NCBI)
Programming in Python
Research Papers
